About Geert

I can adapt myself both to corporate environments and to SME's. I have worked as a company owner which gives a very thorough understanding of smaller companies and how they work.

I am interested in a lot of fields and areas. As a quick learner, i understand very quickly what is important for the company that i may assist.

I am the best in environments that need to review their corporate or sales strategy, need a boost in their sales results, need to review their client portfolio, would like to launch in a new field or geography.

I am less good in managing day to day larger operations.

Let me do the design, thinking and monitor from a distance, not the detail level on a daily basis.
